Liat Yossifor: Pre-Verbal Painting
http://www.camstl.org
Date: July 3 through August 16, 2015
The Contemporary Art Museum will host the first solo exhibition of Liat Yossifor’s work in the Midwest. The Israeli-born artist, now based in Los Angeles, has created a collection of new work specifically for this exhibit. Her method involves working sculpturally with colored paints, using her body and tools to blend vibrant colors together into shades of gray and to sculpt and incise the paints into textural reliefs. The result is reminscent of cave paintings, or children’s finger paintings — hence the title of the exhibit, “Pre-Verbal Painting.” Her work, like other “action painters,” records her process, creating a “visual record of the catharsis of expression.”

It’s 1963. Following the assassination of JFK, Lyndon Johnson becomes America’s “accidental president.” Launched into the presidency over a country in turmoil, LBJ maneuvers and manipulates his way through a series of power plays to pass the Civil Rights Act and to guarantee a full term in the Oval Office. Deception, bullying and blackmail are all strategies in his arsenal. But in this 2014 Tony Award Winner for Best Play, featuring a large landscape of people and characters, LBJ makes clear that it’s not personal, it’s just politics. 7:00 p.m. Tuesday; 8:00 p.m. Wednesday-Friday; 5:00 p.m. Saturday; 9:00 p.m. select Saturday; 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Sunday http://www.repstl.org/, (314) 968-4925

The Arianna Quartet launches their 2015-16 Touhill Concert Series with three riveting works that capture the power, grace, elegance and nuance of the art of the string quartet. Mozart’s impassioned Quartet in D minor, K.421 opens the ASQ’s season, striking a delicate balance between hushed utterances and operatic grandeur. The ASQ is then thrilled to present Pulitzer Prize winning composer Kevin Puts’ mesmerizing Credo for String Quartet. Famous for its gripping drama and unparalleled intimacy of expression, Beethoven’s revolutionary Quartet in B-flat Major, Op.130 closes this evening of essential quartet classics. This performance features a pre-show talk with the Arianna String Quartet.

The exhibit brings together a selection of artworks from the Museum’s permanent collection by Christian Jankowski, Rashid Johnson, Sharon Lockhart, Catherine Opie, and Carrie Mae Weems, among others, to examine questions central to both social justice work and art practice: Who is speaking, and for whom? What conditions—social and political, personal and communal—inform these representations? The task of representing individuals, communities, and social welfare issues has significant implications for anyone engaged in social justice work, but what roles do interpersonal relationships and advocacy play in art? http://kemperartmuseum.wustl.edu/exhibitions/10617

The exhibit presents the second installation of highlights from a major donation of contemporary artworks recently gifted to the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum by Peter Norton, the prominent Los Angeles collector and arts philanthropist and founder of Peter Norton Computing. Featuring an international array of art from the 1990s and the early 2000s, Norton’s collection is widely considered to be among the largest and most comprehensive in the United States. These works represent a variety of artistic positions that address some of most pressing social and political issues of the time as well as the beginning of multidisciplinary and hybrid artistic practices that were then beginning to penetrate the practice of contemporary art. The Kemper Art Museum is one of eight university art museums to receive works from Norton’s extensive collection. http://kemperartmuseum.wustl.edu/exhibitions/10615

This exhibit presents a unique investigation of the art and visual culture of the First World War by examining both the distinctive ways in which combatant nations utilized visual propaganda against their enemies and how individual artists developed their own visual language to convey and cope with the gruesome horrors they witnessed. With works by Max Beckmann, Umberto Boccioni, Georges Braque, Otto Dix, Natalia Goncharova, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Käthe Kollwitz, Fernand Léger, and Kazimir Malevich, among many others, the exhibition includes over 150 objects in a range of media, including satirical illustrated journals, print portfolios, postcards, photographs, paintings, firsthand accounts such as a war diary, and "trench art" made by soldiers.

Object Paintings is the first solo museum exhibition of work by New York-based artist Wyatt Kahn, on view September 11 through December 27, 2015. Containing references ranging from Soviet architecture to Cubism, Kahn’s work explores how paintings can be made entirely without paint and hover between two and three dimensions. The exhibition features the artist’s signature constructed works, which he creates by stretching unprimed canvas over irregular, hand-cut wood panels and then piecing them together, leaving large gaps in the picture plane and disrupting the otherwise dense compositions. Smudges, stains, and erasure marks on the raw surface of the canvas allow the material to retain a flawed authenticity and allude to a human body, as seen in Him (2011), Her (2012), and Bad Girl (2015). These compositional gestures allow the viewer to, in the artist’s words, “experience the errors in the process that reveal my hand and the very human experience of imperfection.”

Classic Albums Live re-creates the musical brilliance of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon.” Note for note. This is not a tribute band. There are no gimmicks or fake English accents. This is simply a live re-creation of one of the greatest pop/rock albums ever made as Classic Albums Live brings together some of the country's finest musicians to recreate live on stage the exact sounds of the greatest albums of the 60s and 70s. The album might require a sitar player, a children's choir, a string quartet or someone to ring the alarm clock. Whatever it takes, these musicians treat these revered albums like a score - the way a symphony orchestra treats Mozart. Pre-show dinners are available for this performance. 8:00 p.m. http://www.touhill.org, (314) 516-4949 or (866) 516-4949

Peter Mawanga is a self-proclaimed "Voice for the Voiceless." Writing in his vernacular, Chichewa, his socially conscious lyrics speak for Malawi's underprivileged. The music is equally Malawian. Traditional melodies and rhythms form the backbone of original songs orchestrated with modern and traditional instruments, a sound Mawanga terms “Afro-vibes.” Fusing the rock outfit of drums-bass-guitar with the traditional sounds of Malawi's marimba, thumb piano, and percussion, Mawanga's Afro-vibes is a modern African sound that is intrinsically Malawian. 8:00 p.m. http://www.touhill.org, (314) 516-4949 or (866) 516-4949

A unique opportunity to view paintings rarely seen in North America by the British statesman Winston Churchill (1874–1965), one of the most renowned—and many say greatest—wartime leaders of the twentieth century. Bringing together forty loans from preeminent public and private collections in the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States—including the Royal Academy of Arts in London and Chartwell, the historic family estate in Kent, England—this exhibition surveys the full range of his art, from landscapes and seascapes to still lifes and portraits. Beginning with his earliest work in 1915, the paintings on view represent each of the five decades in which Churchill pursued what was for him the greatest of hobbies. The exhibit is presented in association with "Churchill 2015," a worldwide commemoration of the life and legacy of Winston Churchill on the fiftieth anniversary of his death. http://kemperartmuseum.wustl.edu/exhibitions/Churchill
